The Missing 43: Mexico's Disappeared Students

Editor's Take

The 2014 disappearance of forty-three students from the Ayotzinapa teachers' college anchors this investigation, which reconstructs the night police intercepted them and the mass abduction that followed. It examines the failures and unanswered questions of the official inquiry, a case that became a national reckoning. The approach is investigative and sober, keeping the focus on evidence and consequence. It is a difficult but clarifying account of an event still contested in Mexico.

This film investigates the case of the forty-three students from the Ayotzinapa teachers' college in Mexico who disappeared in 2014. It follows the night the students were intercepted by police on their way to a protest, the violence that erupted, and the mass abduction that shocked the country. The documentary examines the failed investigations and the questions of official complicity that still surround the case. It is a haunting account of one of Mexico's gravest human rights scandals.
